As Zhang Lu's brother, Zhang Wei, who is in charge of military affairs, is determined to build meritorious service. Zhang Lu is the prefect of Hanzhong. As a matter of fact, Zhang Lu was even more absorbed in wudoumi Dao and devoted himself to the study of Taoist classics and some of Laozi's Classics.

Under this premise, Zhang Wei was the commander in chief of the army and took charge of the army for Zhang Lu.

Zhang Wei looks quite excited, said: "brother, I just got the news that Zhang Xiu led the army, has gone straight to xiegu pass."

"Yes

Zhang Lu nodded and answered.

Zhang Wei asked, "what is elder brother going to do?"

Zhang Lu sighed: "Zhang Xiubing is sharp and sincere. The only thing I can do is to order Yang Yi to stick to xiegu pass and not to go out. "

"Big brother Miao Yi!"

Zhang Wei shook his head in disapproval.

Zhang Lu said, "what do you suggest?"

Zhang Wei raised his head and said: "with big brother's prestige in Hanzhong, there are countless believers following big brother. Just a big brother's order to go down, Hanzhong people are all soldiers, enough to resist Zhang Xiu. In Hanzhong, everyone can serve as a soldier, and everyone can serve as a big brother. We are weak, but we have our advantage. "

At this point, Zhang Wei clenched his fist, waved it in the air, and said: "so Zhang Xiu's troops are at xiegu pass. I don't agree with the insistence. I suggest sending troops to fight against Zhang Xiu. Why are we afraid of Zhang Xiu in Hanzhong? "

After hearing this, Yan Pu said, "General Zhang, it's not right to fight Zhang Xiu!"

Zhang Wei said, "what's wrong?"

Yan Pu replied: "Zhang Xiu's military front is well known in the world. At the beginning, Zhang Xiu only had Nanyang, so she easily defeated Cao Cao's army; Zhang Xiu defeated Yuan Shao with her own strength. Dare to ask general Zhang, can you defeat Cao Cao and Yuan Shao

Zhang Wei raised his head and said, "I haven't had a fight. I don't know yet. What's more, don't you know what's going on in Hanzhong. There are countless gullies in Hanzhong, so the war can be different. The fighting here is different from that outside the pass. When we are in Hanzhong, we have the advantage of geographical location and harmony of people. We have the advantage of time, geographical location and harmony of people. We have the advantage to win. "

Yanpu Junlang's face showed a helpless look.

Zhang Wei is full of confidence.

He didn't know how to persuade Zhang Wei to give up. In desperation, Yan Pu can only turn his eyes to Zhang Lu and signal him to deal with the matter.

Zhang Lu didn't speak as well as Yan Pu. He snorted and said decidedly, "don't talk nonsense. Don't send troops for the time being. Step back!"

"Big brother!"

Zhang Wei was in a hurry.

Without Zhang Lu's orders, he couldn't even move the army.

Zhang Lu said: "back down!"

Zhang Wei clenched his teeth and turned to look at Yan Pu. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Pu, you are a soft egg. I trust you most. You persuade me to stick to it. This time Zhang Xiu went south to Hanzhong, it was clearly our chance. As long as you defeat Zhang Xiu, your reputation will surely increase. At that time, who dares to underestimate elder brother? I will be able to rise again. "

"Back off!"

Zhang Lu scolded again.

His face was full of anger.

Zhang Wei is familiar with his elder brother. As soon as he sees Zhang Lu's expression, he knows that Zhang Lu is on the verge of anger. With a flick of his sleeve, he turns around and leaves angrily.

Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu and said with relief, "military adviser, this is the second brother's character. You don't have to worry about it."

Yan Pu shook his head and said slowly, "well, the reason why general Zhang is eager to fight is also for Shijun. So, I don't think it's a bad job. It's just that Zhang Xiu is good at fighting. We're not strong enough, so we can only stick to it. "

"Now, we can hold on to xiegu."

"If you want to get more, you even have to beat Zhang Xiu. But what if we lose? It is a must for military strategists to consider defeat before victory. Regardless of the consequences of failure, they want to fight in the interests of victory. In the end, once the army is defeated, Hanzhong will face the danger of collapse. "

Yan Pu said, "we have only Hanzhong. We can't do anything rashly. What's more, there is Liu Zhang in the south. We should know that the relationship between Shijun and Liu Zhang is not harmonious. Once we make a mistake, maybe Liu Zhang will fall down the drain. "

"What the military adviser said is true!"

Zhang Lu, with a look of approval, appreciated Yan Pu's caution.

As a matter of fact, Zhang Lu is not very interested in chasing the world. His ambition is to preach, to spread the wudoumi Dao, let more people know the wudoumi Dao, let more people believe in wudoumi Dao.

At the beginning, he was ordered by Liu Yan to seize Hanzhong. In fact, he did not mean to rebel. If Liu Zhang had not killed his family, Zhang Lu would not have ruled Hanzhong separately.

Zhang Lu waved his hand and said, "go ahead, commander."

"Here it is

Yan Pu bowed down.

After Yan Pu left, Zhang Lu buried himself in his book and studied the Taoist classics in his eyes. Soon after, an attendant came in and reported: "Shijun, there is a man named Zuo CI outside. He has come to visit.""Please

Zhang Lu gave the order directly.

He was very happy in his heart. Zuo Ci was a famous Taoist alchemist in the world.

Zhang Lu is willing to communicate with such people.

Not long after, Zuo CI entered his study. When he saw Zhang Lu, Zuo CI shook his hands and brushed the dust. He said, "Zuo Ci, I've met my master."

Zhang Lu said: "you don't have to be polite."

After a pause, Zhang Lu said with admiration: "Zuo Daoyou is a young man with lofty hair and noble character. He is full of dust. At first sight, he is a master of Taoism. Say, I really envy Zuo Daoyou

Zuo CI lifted up his robe and sat down. He said with a smile: "Shijun praises Miao. Shijun's five Dou rice way and poor way are also deeply admired. And now, I'm not an outsider. I don't hide it from Shijun. Now, I work under the command of Taiwei Zhang Xiu and am worshipped as a real person. "

Zhang Lu's eyes narrowed when he heard the speech.

Zuo CI is from Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Lu's eyes gradually sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "is it not that Zuo Daoyou came to persuade me to submit to Zhang Xiu?"

"Of course not!"

Zuo answered shaking his head.

Zhang Lu asked: "Zuo Daoyou didn't come to persuade me. Why did you come?"

Zuo CI stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "I came to Hanzhong this time to exchange Taoism and manage believers with Shijun. I'm a real person appointed by Taiwei. I'm not in charge of government affairs or military affairs. I'm only in charge of the affairs of my Taoist followers. "

"Now there are Taoists in Taiwei's command, but there are many other witches, ghosts and alchemists. According to Taiwei's order, I will gradually get rid of these messy witches' sacrifices, leaving only my Taoist integrity."

"But these are not easy to deal with."

"Under the command of Taiwei, I got the news that Shijun's five Dou rice way made all believers believe in it, and even made the people no longer believe in the rest of the gods and spirits. So, I'm here to talk with Shijun. "

Zuo CI talked with sincerity and said, "besides understanding the management of believers, he also wants to exchange Taoist knowledge with Shijun. That's my intention."

"Ha ha ha..."

When Zhang Lu heard this, he said with a big laugh: "brother Zuo Dao is worthy of being a true man with a broad mind, which is admirable. If you don't tell me who you are, I don't know. But you said it directly. Taoist brother really believes in people. "

Zuo CI said: "everything can be said to others. The battle between Taiwei and Shijun is a matter of your government and military affairs. There are boundaries in the jurisdiction of various princes, but Shijun and I have learned about Taoism, but they don't know boundaries or each other. "

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Zhang Lu was overjoyed.

He felt that Zuo Ci's words were simply wonderful.

Zuo CI looked at Zhang Luxi's smiling face, relieved. When he came to Hanzhong, he did not involve lobbying Zhang Lu, but mainly influenced Zhang Lu's impression of Zhang Xiu.

As for the others, there is no plan.

Just so, after seeing Zhang Lu, Zuo CI said his identity without saying a word. In this way, it is conducive to his action and will not be scared by Zhang Lu.

They talked and laughed from time to time, which was very congenial.

In particular, Zuo Ci was familiar with Taoist classics and was better at alchemy. His Taoist knowledge is far more profound than Zhang Lu's, so the more Zhang Lu talks with Zuo Ci, the more he admires Zuo CI.
